Riding clockwise the first part of this trail is actually pretty tame. Rolls through the junipers and is a pretty easy ride. Takes you right out to the point. Once you round the point and go for a little bit more, the trail starts to turn into more sand stone rolling and climbing with some difficult sections to negotiate. A lot of fun, a must ride if you drive all the way up to the mesa.
